Very Nice. The bigger motor is going to be sweat and it looks like you got all the stuff you wanted. Great job

Quick question...and don't want to derail this thread, but have often wondered if you guys with the Supremes ever put line-x on the hulls.  I have a Gheenoe and have considered doing it one of these days...

Anyway...awesome boat you have here...looking forward to seeing some pics in the water.

Mike has his Line-X'd. I need to do mine, just have had other priorities or I would have already.

I may do this boat in time.

I got this text today from Rob  :D

Ready to go to Tennessee.
Ran it at the lake, Runs great.
Better wear your kill switch.
It's pretty fast.

Just a curiousity questions, but with the longer boat and long trailer.... Is there any issues with the trailer wheels dropping off at low water ramps?  I know it is a shallow drafting boat and all.

What got me thinking about it was loading today loading Dad's 2180 Carolina Skiff.  It wasn't easy as the ramp flatten out the further back we went. Heck I could not even get out of the Suburban's door without getting my feet wet.

You can always just push the boat off the trailer. Especially if you have bunk slides. They don't weight that much.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Sweet rig... From the trailer, to the 80 lb trolling motor, and the merc...you've got the Cadillac of the Southern tailwaters.  I know Mike's boat sure has been a pleasure to fish from.  Can't wait to see some of the waters you'll reach this Spring.
My boat's coming.... Just have to figure out whether to go light or heavy with the Jet.

You mean 60/40 or 40/30 or something else entirely? I can't wait to see how your skiff runs -- should be just the ticket for rockier stuff like the New!
